Plan to Aid Cities Now Proposed by Legislature
A emergency debt corporation would take over payment of municipal obligations when revenue from limited levies falls short. A companion plan to enlarge city taxing powers is under consideration. About $100,000 starting capital is seen as enough for the debt corporation. An act to aid counties and districts by state payment of school and road bonded debt seeks $3,000,000 annually but no city relief due to constitutional limits. A liquor control bill would require annual permits for those visiting wet states and allows liquor imports for personal use.
